In recent days, Lebanon has been grappling with severe weather conditions that have made transportation across the country extremely challenging.
Unrelenting rains have led to flooding on coastal roads, making them impassable for vehicles.
Simultaneously, higher altitudes in the mountainous regions have experienced heavy snowfall, further complicating travel conditions.
These adverse weather events have disrupted daily life and commerce in various parts of the country.
While adverse weather during January is not uncommon, the situation has been exacerbated by a faltering state, neglected road maintenance, and inadequate public services.
The impact of these weather-related difficulties serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by Lebanon, which is currently grappling with an unprecedented economic crisis and persistent political tensions.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had struck "key" figure from Palestinian militant group Hamas near the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli, the first targeted killing in the area for several months.
A U.S. envoy said on Monday he was "unbelievably satisfied" with Lebanon's reply to a U.S. proposal on disarming Hezbollah, following meetings in Beirut held hours after Israel launched new air strikes and a cross-border incursion.
Hezbollah has begun a major strategic review in the wake of its devastating war with Israel, including considering scaling back its role as an armed movement without disarming completely, three sources familiar with the deliberations say.
